more about lumens then watts.... let me look for that info and ill post it over here to see what do you think ........
Still .... i cant find you Fantasmo Journal ... !

Yes please share the info about lumens vs watts.
Maybe I am giving more light than they can use. I let one of my 25 watt CFLs get within 5 cm of a Fantasmo seedling and it started bleaching! Getting better now but it slowed the growth a bit.

Here is my Fantasmo Journal. I'll update it on day 7

Yes the whole watt thing can be very confusing here I have a 40watt CFL and a 42watt CFL yet the lumens' are both the same 2800 ,is the 42 watt better I'm no expert but I would say no .

CFL variations and efficiency

And let me know what do you think guys ...

But if you notice the k is different because there different spectrums and the 40 w has more k than the 42w same lumens though

I like to mix the spectrums up not sure but I think it helps.

I like the same Danky, im using for veg only white, when the flowering time comes, i will add some worm light spectrum on the set up as well ....

Take a look at the link, you will find out pretty interenting info about it .....
Cheers !

I just bought 4 of the 32 watt cfl it says it puts out the same power as 150 watt incandescent bulb. I'm only going to be using them as supplemental light in the corners of the tent. I hope they are worth the effort.

Good luck there deadhead ! im sure it will be ok
